Subject: Boathouse Foundation & Boulder Seawall at Gladden Residence - NCWRC Comments
Hi David,
I have reviewed the information sent to me on the Boathouse Foundation and Adjacent Boulder Seawall at
Gladden Residence Project on Lake Toxaway in Transyvlania County. The project involves the construction
of a new boathouse foundation with a precast concrete block wall and 25 feet of new seawall with drystack
boulders and a rip rap toe.
The shoreline provides important habitat for wildlife. Fallen trees and other large woody debris along the
shoreline are especially important, providing cover for various sunfish, largemouth bass, and other fishes in
the lake. In addition, trees and shrubs above the waterline not only stabilize banks but also serve as habitat for
wildlife such as song birds.
We offer the following recommendations to minindze impacts to terrestrial and aquatic wildlife:
1. Where a stabilization is implemented, large woody debris should be left in place or moved temporarily
and replaced after stabilization work is complete.
2. We recommend that the landowners retain as many shoreline trees and shrubs as possible, and urge them
to plant additional native herbaceous vegetation, shrubs, and trees to improve riparian
habitat. Recommendations for native species are available in NC Cooperative Extension's guide on small-
scale solutions to eroding stream banks, available here: https://www.bae.ncsu.edu/sa2l2dfs/online-
BYSRGuide2015.ndf .
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me if you have any
questions about these comments or need further assistance.

8. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures In Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows.
Existing stream dimensions (including the crosssection dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal
profile) must be maintainedabove and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be below the „..
elevation of the sheambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48inches;
and. 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48
Inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic fife. -
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than S%, culvert burial is not
required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated
and aquatic life movement/ connectivity has been provided When possible (rock ladders,
crossvanes, etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include
location. map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slopecalculatons shall be provided
to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial isnot requiredprovided. that there

geotechnical reports, photographs, etc shall be provided to the Division minimum of 80
daysprior to the Installation of the culvert. If bedrockis-discovered during construction, then
the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and/or it. can be demonstrated that burying. the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal
to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality, regardless of the total impacts to
streams. or wetlands from the project.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and
roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA -designated
floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges mustbe provided to maintain
the natural hydrology of the 'system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may
result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening
methods.
0, If concrete (s used during the construction, then all necessary measuresshall be taken to
prevent direct contact betweenuncured or curing concrete.. and waters of the state. Water 1.
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic fife/ fish kills. -

losses of equal to or greater than 150 linear feet of streams (Intermittent and perennial)
and/or equal to or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. For linear Public transportation
projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 linear feet perstream shall require. mitigation.

mitigation bank. In these oases, proof of payment Oat be provided to the Division before
any impacts occur on site
13. All temporary fill and culverts shall beremoved and the impacted area returned to natural
.conditions within 60 days of the determination that the temporary Impact Isno longer
necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's
original cross sectional dimensions planform pattern and longitudinal bed and bed profile,
and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the
approved maintenance areas). and restored to prevent erosion,

temporarily: disturbed areas. shall be restricted: to the area directly impacted by the approved
construction activity. All rip -rap shall burled and/or keyed in' such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip -rap or
other approved materials shall not result In de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area.
16, Any rip -rap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density so as not to be able to
be carried: off by wave current action or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry
material free of debris or toxic pollutants--..Rip-rap shall notbe installed in the. streambed --
